Self destruction

A heart hollow with hurt
soul burdened by despair
eyes darkened by sleepless nights
I tried to hold your hand to carry you through
To be
the strong one for you to start anew
swallowed pride a sadness I couldn’t hide
While you slept I cried afraid to close my eyes
never knowing what tomarrow would bare
layers of confusion isolating my fear
heart frozen in time this sickness you self inflicted
I tried to be there,
With your hands you reddened my flesh
with your tongue you tore my heart
with rage you gave up you gave in you lost the fight
now with tears for your soul my heart aches for your loss
I could not stay
l hold your hand no more
I no longer fight
The memories still haunt me through the night.
